Big tough oil men turn into limpwristed traitors who knuckle under when Trump calls to them. Fucking embarrassing.

Nationalize the oil already. Get the foreign corporations and their brain dead lackeys out.

As an Albertan, I fail to see see what leverage she thinks she has here. Our province consistently votes conservative regardless of how many bones the Liberals are throwing us (ex, buying a pipeline to ensure it gets constructed when the owner backs out) or how much the Conservatives ignore us.

Leaving Canada to either form an independent nation or join the US are both wildly unpopular, and there's nothing she can say that'll drum up enough support for either to occur. If she decides to "turn off the taps," her O&G overlords will punish her.

Like many of the dipshits making good money with little to no education in this province, she has a wildly inflated sense of our importance and value.
